Hey NHL Gamers,
a week after the ECL 5 Lite playoffs kicked off, Pro and Elite are now heading into the most exciting time of the season too! The Elite playoffs will be covered in a seperate post, so keep an eye out for that.
FRAMEWORK
- Each pairing, championship or promotion/relegation faceoffs, must be finished within 7 days until November 28 - starting today. Don't expect any extensions!
- All pairings are to be played in a best-of-7 series (teams on the left side below play home first)
PRO PLAYOFFS
As usual, the two ECL Pro groups are cross-seeded in the first round, which means #1 from Group 1 will play #8 from Group 2 and so on. This leads us to these 8 pairings:
- Gotham Knights vs. J P T J
- SIKA vs. THE UNITED KNIGHTS
- Inter Iceland vs. EN HUND
- Lavetten vs. Pata Hellalla
- Unlucky Boys HC vs. Alliance HT
- Shameful Knights vs. Falun Coal Miners
- Nordic Stars vs. White Trash
- Baltic Sea Eagles vs. Evolution
PRO RELEGATION FACEOFFS
Teams ranked 13th to 16th in both conferences are cross-seeded as well. While all winners will remain in ECL Pro for ECL 6, the losers are moved down to ECL Lite and will be replaced by the ECL Lite semi-finalists. Here are the pairings:
- AK 47 vs. Bellizzi
- Squirt Hockey vs. GHETTO FIREBIRDS
- Sypperstaars vs. Bare Knuckles Hockey
- Banterfield Battalion vs. Nemesis
THE (UN)LUCKY FEW?
Murohoki, Black Panther Party, God Tier, Hawks Hockey Club, DEAD END KINGS, Clowns on Ice, Speedy Bros Hockey and Free From Rodents have secured their spot in ECL Pro for next season. Some might be unhappy about not making the playoffs, others might be happy about avoiding the fierce relegation battles - whatever it is, make sure to recover during Christmas and come back strong for ECL 6. It's not going to be easier!
That's it! Good luck to everyone and let the games begin.
